AND THEN CHARGED THE GOVERNMENT TEN CENTS
NILE FOR TRAVELLING EXPENSES.
Editor Rooewater, or the Omaha Bee, gave some
Interesting testimony before the Pacific Railroad
Investigating committee at Omaha yesterday. He
testified that 1t has been for years the practice OF
the United States marshal for Nebraska and his
deputies TO travel on free passes over the Union
Pacific Railroad and TO charge the Government
had himself seen a deputy United States marshal
travelling on such pass, from whom he learned
that the deputy had 10 share with the marshal
the travelling fees allowed by the Government for
Just such trips. ''The court officers generally in
Nebraska" Mr. Rosewater added, shave always
shown great subserylence to the railroad power"
He produced copy or the election telegram al
luded TO In his testimony, given some days ago,
before the commission. The telegram Is from the
general manager and assistant manager, and
reads as loi!owS:
OMAHA. Oct IL, 1873
To s. ~. Cork or r. l.. Kfnbat, Denrer:
The vote OF the shops Will probably decide the
election, aud IL Is said 1t viii be solid against
Grebe FOR sheriff. He has served the road better
than any sheriff we ever had. Can't you give
this vote? think you should, II possible. II you
agree 10 instruct proper parties to give him the
vote, send me copy OF your telegram
Mr.. Poppleton explained that his course In send
ing the telegram had been dictated by the fact
that passengers On the Union Pacific Company's
trains had been persistently robbed by three-card
monte men, and the man Grebe referred to In the
dispatch was the only man VINO had been found
able TO handle the gamblers.
Peter A. DEFY, one OF The railroad commissioners
of the Union Pacific road, testified that the pro-
motors OF the Union Pacific road employed him in
1SS 10 survey and estimate on the cost OF the pro-
posed road when he gave an estimate or $50, 0OO a
male for the first hundred miles. He was directed
from headquarters to increase the amount 10 $50,
600, so as 10 make II appear that the road was an
expensive one 10 build. From his declfnatfon TO
comply with this demand his resignation came
about. He believed the entire road could now be
paralleled for 80 900 mile. IL he were the owner
OF the franchises OF the Union Pacific he would let
the Government
mortgage on IT, and would himself run the
branches.
John A. McShane member OF Congress for the
Omaha district, was asked by Gov. Pattison
whether he had any suggestion TO make as 70 a
settlement OF the Pacific road debt to the Govern
cided opinion On so important suSiecI unatl he
had an opportunity to see the result OF the labors
or the commission.

McGarigle Ready to Tell all He
Knows. and He Knows 1t all.

CHICAGO, July "A local paper says this morn
ing that the States attorney is preparing TO de-
scend upon the city "boodlers" and that the cases
are In such shape that they may be started before
the county matter Is disposed OF. The article as
serts that ex-Warden McGarigle stands ready to
disclose all he knows, and he claims that he is in
possession OF facts which, once made public in a
court OF law, would send from 20 to % OF the city
boodlers TO Joliet. 1t is claimed that he con-
suited about every deal made, and is perhaps
better posted on the inner workings OF the cor
rupt city gang" than any other man.
HE CAN" says the article, tell most remark
able story, and II he chooses to unbOSom himself
completely he can give the exact sums OF money
paid by every corporation which has been granted
rights or franchises Of any sort by the city rom
July, 1884. up to April, 1887. Astonishing as 1t
may SEEM however Mr.. Grfnnell hesitateS to ac-
cept his squeal,' and for no other reason than he
thinks he can convict the whole gang OF city
booders without McGarigleS testimony. He be-
neveS that the evidence IN hts possession is so
strong that he will be justified In dispensing with
any Information any OF the bOOdlers might be
willing TO furnish. and the Indications are that
the only SQuealers who will be called upon will be
those who were literally driven into the various
steals.
